Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for May 1, 1993

Raymond Rougeau interviews Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. Paul Bearer says that not only is The Undertaker unstoppable, but that he is the most powerful entity in the World Wrestling Federation as well as the face of the earth. He says that The Undertaker is heading for Giant Gonzales. The Undertaker tells Giant Gonzales he has grown tired of his futile attempts at destroying what cannot be destroyed, and not only will he draw power from the souls of the deceased, he will draw power from the souls of the living. He has met Giant Gonzales in his element; now Giant Gonzales must meet him in his and enter the world of the dark side, where only he can survive and Giant Gonzales will be made to suffer. He tells Giant Gonzales to rest in peace.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat Scott Bazo and Bob Young.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. He also advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday night, May 22nd at 8 PM - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - where Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) will square off against The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake). It is announced that Sgt. Slaughter will be the special guest referee for the match to keep it under control. We then see an interview with The Mega Maniacs from Okerlund. Hulk says he feels like a multi-million dollar man since WrestleMania 9, but it's really just the five-time WWF Champion in disguise. He says Money Inc. has been bankrolled and their assets seized once, but their biggest treasure was "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, who is now managing The Mega Maniacs. Now that Hart is on their side and they have the WWF Championship, they are going for the tag titles again. Brutus says the titanium steel plates will tell the real story, and that this time, Money Inc. will be the ones getting split instead of a split decision.

We see a vignette for The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn), who say they've heard about nothing but trouble in the tag team division. They then shoot bottles and cans with their pistols, and with nothing like a little scrap to get a man's attention, they are heading to the WWF and look for some tag team excitement. They then shoot more bottles. When the smoke clears, they will go down...1...2...3.

virgil beats The White Shadow.

On the King of the Ring Report - a report for King of the Ring, a new WWF event coming to pay-per-view on June 13th - there will be a single-elimination eight-man tournament. Bracketing through means of qualifying matches will start this week. Superstars involved include Bret "Hit Man" Hart, who is seeded #1 by WWF President Jack Tunney. We then hear from Bret, who says he is gathering his thoughts to return to the top, and taking his fans with him as he becomes King of the Ring. He is now in the #1 seed, and he feels sorry for whoever gets in the ring with him. Okerlund also announces that the WWF Championship will be on the line when Hulk Hogan defends the title against Yokozuna. We hear from Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Mr. Fuji is not happy his appeal was overruled, and at King of the Ring, Hogan will lose the built as quickly as he won it, as Yokozuna will be fresh this time around unlike at WrestleMania 9. We then hear from Hulk Hogan, who was on the set of Thunder In Paradise in Clearwater, Florida in a pre-recorded interview with Okerlund. Hogan says he is only in Hollywood is simply because it was a prior commitment, and he plans to hang on to the WWF Championship. He says that the ring crew had better have the ring reinforced, for when he gets Yokozuna in the air, he will press him over his head, show him off to the Hulkamaniacs in the arena, and when Yokozuna splits the ring in half, he will go down for a second time. As for Mr. Fuji or anyone else who messes with him or anyone on his side, he is messing with family, which he regards more than life. At King of the Ring, Yokozuna will have a date with disaster, and he will get a haircut and look like Mr. Fuji thanks to Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. It is then announced that Bob Backlund and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will face each other for a seed on Wrestling Challenge, and Doink and Mr. Perfect will go at it for a slot here on Superstars this week.

Doink vs. Mr. Perfect wrestle to a time limit draw, and neither man qualifies for the King of the Ring Tournament. During the match, we are supposed to hear pre-recorded comments from Crush, but we get Doink instead, who suddenly pops up on the screen, says that it is an illusion, then disappears just as instantly.

We hear from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says he had the last laugh last week when he attacked Tatanka backstage and cut his hair. Tatanka says his red hair, which symbolizes his people, is sacred, and when Bam Bam Bigelow desecrated his heritage, it started a fire that will burn until he gets his revenge.

Typhoon beats Larry Ludden.

"The Narcissist" Lex Luger vs. Terry Zeller ends before it begins when Luger knocks Zeller out with a running forearm for standing in front of his mirror. During the match, it is announced that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Shawn Michaels for the WWF Intercontinental Championship next week on Raw.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund re-advertises Monday Night Raw for Monday night, May 10th at the Manhattan Center in midtown Manhattan, New York. Tonight at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York - with kids 12 and under getting in for $2 less - Shawn Michaels defends the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Mr. Perfect. We hear from Mr. Perfect, who says that everywhere he goes, he hears about how Shawn jumped him from behind and treated him like a piece of garbage. Mr. Perfect says he is not a piece of garbage, and that Shawn is. He says Shawn's problem is that he is walking around like he is the king of the ring, but he is a two-time Intercontinental Champion and he knows what it takes to hold the title. He says Shawn has great assets, but he is Mr. Perfect, and that Shawn is about to get what is coming to him. Also on the Nassau Coliseum card, Bret "Hit Man" Hart faces "The Narcissist" Lex Luger. We then hear from Luger, who asks if it is unfair that he is genetically superior while everyone else is genetically shortchanged, if is it fair that he has a steel plate implanted in his forearm after a motorcycle accident that WWF President Jack Tunney can do nothing about it, and if it is fair that Bret "Hit Man" Hart was knocked out at the WrestleMania brunch and subsequently lost the WWF Championship. He says it isn't, and says he will write the final chapter of Bret's career the next time they meet in the ring. Also on the Nassau card: Bob Backlund faces Blake Beverly, Kamala faces Bam Bam Bigelow, The Headshrinkers face an unknown opponent, and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan takes on Yokozuna.

Next week: The Nasty Boys (Jerry Sags and Brian Knobbs) and Kamala vs. Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) and Mr. Hughes! "El Matador" Tito Santana vs. Razor Ramon in a qualifying match for the King of the Ring Tournament!

Razor Ramon tells "El Matador" Tito Santana that next week to bring it, don't sing it, next week. Santana tells Razor Ramon that when the bell sounds, this Mexican will be coming at him and he intends to put it to him.
